What's up fellow enthusiasts, im about 2 weeks away from transplanting, my medium will consist of coco coir ( that will be washed and buffed with calmag) perlite, and worm castings, now here's my question, should I get this mix together now and let sit for 2 weeks, or is it cool to just mix the day of transplant, thanks in advance

Letting any Soil mix "Cook" is the prefered methode. But it is not manditory. It just gives the various micro-organisms a "Head Start" before the growing process begins. If you don't let it "Cook", it will just take a little longer to got up to speed.

The OP is in coco, not soil.

no, coco needs no cooking time unless im mistaken. its a hydro mix and requires some , not a lot of nutrient solution.

Not sure why you'd put EWC in coco. It'd be best to leave it out and feed your coco with nutrients. GL.
